24th  Sunday in Ordinary Time

/ From the Pastor, Parish Life / By

Today we celebrate the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time. In the Ordinary Time we realize that all we are brothers and sisters, and our everyday rule is to love each other and forgive one another. Love is the consequence of the looking on others by our own perspective. Christ Jesus came into the world to save us and others too. And this is the Good News for all of us. Because we can find ourselves in the group of people whom Jesus loves and saves.

The Eucharist is the special meeting with Jesus for all who are brothers and sisters. We come to Jesus to praise him and to become holy by his grace. This is the simple aim of our every Sunday coming to the Church. To encourage others to praise God and to be better by the loving power of Jesus is our privilege and we have to do this because we are the disciples of Christ.

„His master handed him over to the torturers.”

One Main Point

If one wants mercy from God, be merciful to others. If one exacts justice from others, expect the same from God.

Reflections

  1. Position yourself as one of the three persons in the parable: the king, the servant, or the fellow servant. What do you hear? How do you feel? What is your reasoning in each encounter?
  2. What is the main motive to forgive? Why do I have to forgive always? What do I gain or lose when forgiving?
  3. Jesus taught us in Our Lord’s prayer “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those whose trespass against us.” Recall on what occasions and to whom you forgave, compare with the mercy you received from God in the sacrament of reconciliation.

How do you feel when someone forgives you or you forgive someone?
